Abstract
DO-stat fed-batch cultures of Agaricus blazei were carried out using various feeding solutions, for the production of mycelial biomass and exopolysaccharides (EPS). It was observed to be more effective to use a feeding solution containing both carbon and nitrogen sources than that containing only carbon source. The best result was obtained when a feeding solution containing 450 g/l glucose, 60 g/l yeast extract, 30 g/l soytone peptone was used. The maxium mycelial biomass and EPS concentrations were 36.5 g/l and 10.9 g/l, respectively, at 100 hours of cultivation. The mycelial and EPS productivities were 0.37 g/l-h and 0.11 g/l-h, respectively. As compared with the batch culture, the mycelial biomass concentration and its productivity were 6.0- and 2.2-folds increased, respectively. The EPS concentration and its productivity were increased by 4.7 times and 1.8 times, respectively.
